A Cold frosty week in Molalla

It's been a very cold two weeks, getting  colder with each passing day. We have been huddling in the house trying to stay warm each evening with the heat on and a fire in the fire place. I for one am glad we don't live in the mid west where the winters are much colder and longer than ours....I am longing for spring and the Oregon rain.

The fog lifted for the first time today in days, when I came home for lunch at 2pm today, this is what I saw. Several days of ice fog on all the trees and bushes around the property. A beautiful frosty white homestead. And I might add still FROZEN. We expect freezing rain in the morning. Our high today was 34. It was 23 when I left for work this morning.

But this is what I look forward to when I get home from work and over the last few days over the weekend.....

Keeps us warm after a long days work at home or at work. We have been busy working in our house to replace the carpets in the house. Which with that comes of course painting the walls while your at it, fixing this and that while your at it... we ripped out the carpets from one bedroom last weekend with brother in law Neils help and plan  this weekend working on our bedroom. The carpet has been ordered and due to arrive on the 28th. Install  date yet to be determined. We will also be replacing the living-room and hallway carpets after that.  A lot of work is ahead of us, but it will be worth it and look nice in the end.

That is, if we can stay out of the urgent care centers with 17 other people, all of which have the flu or colds, waiting for a doctor for 2 hours, to look at your hand as  you have cut it with a pudy knife. Yes, Seth had an encounter with a pudy knife. And that is all I will say about it. He will be fine. I on the other hand, am taking vitamin C  and now sneezing.  We will be returning to the bedroom work this weekend.

Take care and God Bless.
